ZPE Systems Unveils NodeGrid USB - World’s First 2U High Density USB Type C Server

ZPE Systems announces NodeGrid USB. A unified solution designed for mobility development and testing environments. NodeGrid USB replaces server, storage and USB hubs - Test and develop around the clock with up to 96 powered USB Type C ports in just a 2U form factor.

Fremont, CA, July 07, 2016 --(PR.com)-- ZPE Systems unveiled (IP patented) NodeGrid USBTM - A truly unified solution designed for mobility development and testing environments. NodeGrid USB improves productivity in the mobility development cycle by replacing the inefficient and expensive mishmash of different USB hubs, power bricks, storage, servers and cables. NodeGrid USB simplifies mobility lab deployments, saving rack space, power, configuration and management time with an all-in-one, high-density 96 USB type C port 2U storage and server appliance.

“Mobility Labs attempt to piece multiple hardware devices together in the most compact footprint to create a test bed. With a mix of device trays, hubs, servers, power and the need for storage - we’re looking at 6 to 10Us of the rack already taken up,” said Arnaldo Zimmermann, CEO of ZPE Systems. “Cabling, powering, configuring, and managing the supporting infrastructure is a huge task in itself. The mobility development industry needed a simple and cost-effective solution that’s quick to implement and easy to scale and manage. That’s why we created NodeGrid USB.”

Designed by industry veterans, ZPE Systems brings forth a fully enclosed, high-density, space saving Unified Mobility Infrastructure TM solution that addresses the needs of mobility labs, data centers and engineering test labs. NodeGrid USB integrates with mobility development tools, USB device reservation tools and orchestration tools for dynamic environments and team collaboration. NodeGrid USB cuts device overhead costs, providing the ability to share and remotely access USB devices.

NodeGrid USB has 96 USB Type C ports integrated with a fast quad-core Intel CPU, built-in large storage, dual 10GbE SFP+ network and latest 64-bit Linux OS. NodeGrid USB is equipped with lightning-fast USB data transfer, management and control, and provides continuous quick charge power output to USB devices, all within an ingenious 2U box.
